In just a second everything can change for some people. In car accidents what a driver was doing becomes imperative. Was that driver distracted? Were they on their smartphone? According to TeenSafe.com 80% of car crashes are attributed to a driver being distracted or not paying attention. Today the DMV estimates that 9 people per day die in distracted driving accidents. 14% of distracted driving accidents are due to the driver doing something on their mobile device. So, how can law enforcement and the legal community deal with this new epidemic?

In 2018 Atola Technology celebrates 15 years in business. Back in Atola’s formative years, it was your technical expertise that lay the foundation of the company’s success. Today do you consider yourself a tech guy or an idea guy?

Yes, at first I was a tech professional who generated ideas and enjoyed working on them. In fact, when in 2003 I, along with Fedir Nepyivoda co-founded Atola, there was no business plan behind it. However, we had big ambitions with regards to the technology we wanted to develop. And when you are such a small team, there is a very short distance between an idea and its implementation. There was even a time when I came up with this great new concept in the morning, and we had it fully realized by the end of the day.

Oxygen Forensic Detective is a powerful tool used extensively by investigators both in law enforcement and in the private sector. It is split into two sections, Extractor and Detective, but once you have bought it there are no hidden add-ons that require extra payments, which is a huge plus right upfront.

Oxygen’s Extractor tool runs independently of Detective. This is significant because it means you can image a number of devices at one time; you are only limited by what your machine can handle. Each Extractor runs independently, so you can have several going at once.

Magnet Forensics started with software called Internet Evidence Finder (IEF), which predominantly helps investigators to carve internet-related artifacts from digital media, and then built on that to produce AXIOM. Magnet AXIOM 2.7 is a complete digital investigation platform which can recover most types of digital evidence from various sources including computers, smartphone devices, cloud services, IoT devices and more.

Magnet AXIOM analyses all the data within one case file, meaning you can add evidence from different sources into one case. This enables you to make connections between artifacts and have key evidence quickly available.
